According to Hai Duong Newspaper's investigation, this spring, instead of spending a lot of money on fortune telling, offering prayers to ward off bad luck, holding altars, holding ceremonies... many people tend to participate in many spring activities to visit temples and pagodas.

Many people believe that fortune telling at the beginning of the year not only costs money but also puts them at risk of stress and anxiety. Some people have even been scammed out of a lot of money when fortune telling to ward off bad luck at the beginning of the year.

Previously, authorities in Hai Duong had punished a number of cases of taking advantage of religious freedom to practice superstition and profit from people, causing public outrage, such as "areca-boiling medium" Truong Thi Huong (Kinh Mon), and Mr. Lien (Hai Duong City)...

Local authorities and functional agencies in the province have stepped up propaganda and mobilized people to correctly identify and combat acts of exploiting beliefs and religions in violation of the law, including superstitious activities. In particular, be vigilant against fanpages and accounts advertising fortune telling and praying to ward off bad luck on social networks.
